Rising Damp, Dry Rot, Wet Rot and Woodworm Control

Building Preservation

At Cook Group we have over 41 years (yes 41!) experience in dealing with damp and timber problems in buildings. We work with all kinds of properties, new and old, as well as having a proven track record in treating historic buildings.

If you think your property is suffering from rising damp, penetrating damp, strange damp patches, salt crystals appearing through decorations, wood-boring insects, wet rot or dry rot or uneven and bouncy floors, we can advise you on the appropriate course of action.

If you are buying a property and are concerned about damp or timber problems, our unrivalled knowledge can enable you to make an informed decision or maybe even assist you in negotiating the purchase price.

For a small fee we will carry out a damp and timber survey during the sale or purchase of your property or new home, conducted by our qualified surveyors. All of our surveyors either have or are working towards the highly-regarded qualification ‘Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatment’. All our surveys are covered by Professional Indemnity insurance too.

All of the chemical treatments we use are as environmentally friendly and low odour as we can possibly make them.

And remember, when it comes to Building Preservation, the bottom line is we will give you the same service, professional work and advice, whatever the job’s requirements; a small damp patch or an entire building affected by rot.
